Golf Tournament Fundraisers- With A Difference
The list grows longer of golf tournament fundraisers that have decided to give it a try this year. But they will not look the same as they did way back in 2019.
Courses are scrambling to find ways to keep these gatherings safe without , well, gathering. The good news is that once golfers are out on the course and playing they can easily distance from one another. The bad news is there are bottlenecks during the process when golfers tend to bunch up, like during registration, buying raffle tickets, waiting for tee assignments, lunch, awards and raffle drawings and dinner.
But golf courses are coming up with solutions to these challenges. At Undermountain Golf Course, for example, registration and payment will be done on-line in advance of tournament day, the raffle will be restricted to a 50/50 rather than a prolonged drawing and dinner is likely to be “to go”. Participants will be limited to 72 golfers for a two-flight tournament.
Over at Fair View Farm Golf Course in Harwinton, one of their upcoming tournaments will have an on line silent auction and raffle, dinner will be replaced by a gift certificate for a free round of golf and registration will be limited to 100 golfers.
At Undermountain, rather than waiting in a group for tee assignments, foursomes will be given their starting hole, and they will go straight to their tee – no hanging around the club house, and lunch will be a boxed meal at the turn.
Masks and distancing are always in order, but of course, all of these best-laid plans are subject to change.
Here is the latest batch of tournaments to weigh in:
Torrington Little League Golf Tournament, Aug. 14th, Fairview Farm Golf Course
Sheffield Fire Co. Golf Tournament, Aug. 14, Copake Country Club
Fore Autism Charity Golf Tournament, Aug. 21st, Fairview Farm
Fore The Children Golf Tournament, Aug. 31st, Torrington Country Club
High Watch Golf Tournament, Sept. 21st, Club at River Oaks
Hearts of the Fathers Golf Tournament, Oct. 8th, Copake C. C.

BLN 20th Annual Golf Tournament, Sept. 14th, Torrington C.C.
Sharon Fire Co. Golf Tournament, Sept. 15th, Sharon Country Club

Again, everything these days is subject to change, so check http://sportingacause.com/ for updates.
Golf – The last Sports Refuge ?
The golf course may be the last sports refuge in these crazy times.
At its essence, golf is a solitary sport, and even when enjoyed with others there is a natural distance between players. But even on the links some changes have emerged to help keep everyone safe.
The most obvious change of course is there can be no post-round beers at the bar or lunch either since all restaurants are closed. But course eateries are still offering snacks, lunch-type foods like sandwiches and beverages to take onto the course.
Here is what some of the public courses in the sportingAcause.com Tri-State area are doing to accommodate golfers in coronavirus world.
Egremont Country Club, South Egremont, MA- not open yet, hope to be open soon.
Hotchkiss School Golf Course, Lakeville, CT – may open as soon as April 1st.
Fairview Farm Golf Course, Harwinton, CT – open for the season, burgers, dogs, sandwiches and beverages available to take on the course.
Green Woods Country Club, Winsted, CT – not open yet.
Quarry View Golf Course, Canaan, CT – course and driving range open, no food options.
Undermountain Golf Course, Copake, NY – open, beverages and snacks available to take on the course , no lunch menu yet.
Winding Brook Country Club, Valatie, NY – tentative opening date March 29th.
Canaan Country Club, Canaan, CT – open but without carts, limited luncheon items and beverages available for takeout.
Links at Union Vale, Lagrangeville, NY – beverages and sandwich menu to go. Also only allowing one golfer per cart and only a couple people in the pro shop at a time.
Other measures that some clubs are taking to avoid the virus spread are no rakes in the sand traps, no ball washers, leaving the pin in while putting and using raised cups (when your putt hits the raised cup lip it is considered “in”).
Many courses are also sanitizing carts after each use.
Before you tee off, check with the pro shop at your favorite course to see what changes they’ve made to help ensure our safety.
